Form Field Hesitation & Abandonment Telemetry Snippet

Discover the exact form field that makes your visitors abandon. Drop in a 1KB, privacy-safe JavaScript telemetry snippet.

Problem it addresses

Develop a lightweight, privacy-safe form hesitation tracking library (form_telemetry.js): 1) Tracks time spent per field (focus to blur), correction count (backspaces), and last-interacted field upon abandonment, 2) Does not record keystroke text by design; field timing and correction-count events still require appropriate consent, minimization, and disclosure, 3) Pushes structured form_friction events to dataLayer, 4) Includes GTM container JSON and GA4 exploration guide.

Who it is for

PRO operating in high-growth e-commerce, digital publishing, and direct-response marketing across Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt.

How to evaluate and use it

  1. Read the README first and confirm that the documented problem matches your use case.
  2. Inspect the listed files to find the data, tools, templates, and tests relevant to your task.
  3. Follow the repository’s Quick Start and check prerequisites before running commands.
  4. Compare outputs with documented examples and review limitations before using them in a decision or client workflow.

Quick Start from the README: python -m unittest discover -s tests · node --test tests/*.test.js · python src/aggregate_hesitation.py --help

Scope and limitations

  • Performance Impact: Event listeners for focus, blur, and keystroke timing must use passive listeners and debounce routines to prevent input lag.
  • PII Data Isolation: Field value contents are never logged or transmitted; telemetry captures field names, character counts, and hesitation milliseconds only.
  • Bilingual Field Identification: Normalizes Arabic input labels (e.g. 'رقم الجوال') to standard telemetry keys (e.g. 'phone_input').
